Beamline 8-ID-E: GIXS, GISAXS, GIWAXS, and XPCS

Description

8-ID-E is dedicated to the study of ordering and kinetics at surfaces and interfaces via the technique of grazing incidence x-ray-scattering (GIXS) in both small-angle (GISAXS) and wide-angle (GIWAXS) regimes. 8-ID-E also hosts programs to measure equilibrium dynamics via XPCS at large wave vector transfers.
The GIXS set-up is optimized for high resolution in reciprocal space and provides a variety of time-resolved experiment capabilities such as temperature, solvent annealing and UV curing. X-rays are most often detected using a high speed version of the Pilatus 1M.
